Summary
Donald Trump's former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, is expected to plead guilty to one criminal charge for essentially mishandling classified information. You can already hear Donald Trump's flunkies, lapdogs and sycophants using the Bolton guilty plea as proof that Donald Trump and his Department of Justice don't vindictively go after people. They will say "Because John Bolton is pleading guilty, he's not being wrongfully prosecuted". Trump's flunkies will try to use the guilty plea as evidence that ALL of the other criminal prosecutions that Donald Trump has demanded his dirty DOJ officials pursue - James Comey, Leticia James, Jerome Powell, six members of Congress, etc. - are somehow validated as righteous by virtue of Bolton's guilty plea. But that's not true at all because not all vindictive prosecutions are created equal.
